    Like others have said in other posts check your boat scale. Its usually set at 0 and can be changed to +1 or 2 for heavy boats and -1 o 2 for lighter boats. Hope this helps

    That's probably your problem, it has the old technology.
    I'd call minnkotta and see what they say.

    That's about as good as it get with the legacy units. You can try to ease into position slowly and hit the spot lock that may help some but the legacy is nowhere near what the Bluetooth version is or the xi5 for that matter

    I'd call minnkotta. It should be just as good as the terrova was.
